I don’t understand what makes a hierarchy communistic and what communism has to do with corporations.

Decades of red scare does weird things to a people
Communistic hierarchy? Wtf are you talking about?
Meanwhile, civilians in Gaza endure a deepening humanitarian catastrophe. Law and order has broken down across the coastal enclave as Hamas’s civil control over northern Gaza and large swathes of the south has been ended.
I don’t think the problem is Hamas failing to provide “law and order” but Israel’s ongoing genocide that is causing the “deepening humanitarian catastrophe”.
Or leave it: I think it’s improved this way: a terrible man, a mediocre painting, in context with the ongoing genocide he put into motion. It invites the viewer to wonder what kind of legacy the rich folk who paid for these paintings have.
It’s a form of protest. Protest against against Britains continued support for genocide and in this case even the root cause of the current situation. It’s great symbolism and nothing of value was lost.
The comments are full of people who value one shitty painting more than they value human life.
There are enough people in Europe, I don’t know why everybody is so concerned. Most people are doing bullshit jobs too, so those people could be doing something more productive, if that is something you’re worried about.
From Wikipedia:
Fearful of the potential impact the slave rebellion could have in the slave states, U.S. President Thomas Jefferson refused to recognize the new republic. The Southern politicians who were a powerful voting bloc in the American Congress prevented U.S. recognition for decades until they withdrew in 1861 to form the Confederacy.
Later:
Fearing possible foreign intervention, or the emergence of a new government led by the anti-American Haitian politician Rosalvo Bobo, President Woodrow Wilson sent U.S. Marines into Haiti in July 1915. The USS Washington, under Rear Admiral Caperton, arrived in Port-au-Prince in an attempt to restore order and protect U.S. interests. Within days, the Marines had taken control of the capital city and its banks and customs house. The Marines declared martial law and severely censored the press. Within weeks, a new pro-U.S. Haitian president, Philippe Sudré Dartiguenave, was installed and a new constitution written that was favorable to the interests of the United States. The constitution (written by future US President Franklin D. Roosevelt) included a clause that allowed, for the first time, foreign ownership of land in Haiti, which was bitterly opposed by the Haitian legislature and citizenry.
It’s put up from the inside… did the antisemites walk in, moved the blinds, taped the messages, then put the blinds back?
The problem is that people point to the problems of the USSR and say it’s because of communism, but when the USA does similar things, it’s just them fucking up, not because they’re capitalist. It’s a double standard hinted at by OP.
The problem with the USSR was not that they were communist. I think that communism worked well for them, which magnified both their successes (beating nazis, reducing poverty, increasing literacy, getting to space, etc), but also magnified their mistakes (suppressing religion, art, etc).
Excel 🤝 Incel Incorrectly assuming it’s a date
👆 they probably meant this one
This just shows that AI sucks for getting accurate information. Even if it didn’t hallucinate black people, it would’ve been just as wrong, just with white skinned queens. Now the lies just line up with “current social freakout of conservatives”.
That’s how it should be though. Everybody is equal under the law, so you shouldn’t punish undocumented immigrants harder than civilians.
For government overhaul would add abolishing the presidency and per district voting (just divide seats in the house based on percentage of the vote overall, I.e. one big district).
For the rest of society: abolish private ownership of companies, but award stocks to the employees instead. This will align incentives of the company with the people most impacted by its decisions.
Income tax can stay as long as its very progressive.
especially considering HAMAS fighters a lot of times wear civilian clothing and don’t follow the laws of war
Sure, Hamas should paint giant targets on their backs and face the Israelis in an open field, mano-a-mano.
As long as Israel doesn’t recognize Palestine as an independent state, I don’t see why Palestinian freedom fighters, Hamas or otherwise, should behave like they’re the official army of an independent state.
Hamas has offered on multiple occasions to release the hostages. Israel insists on continuing to commit genocide against the Palestinians.
And this talk about human shields is nonsense. Hamas has no choice but to be in proximity to civilians, because they’re all imprisoned by Israel in Gaza. Israel only uses this as an excuse to kill more Palestinians.
How many Palestinian kids will you kill to save a Israeli colonizer?
And the court found it plausible that genocide is happening, which is what is needed for the process to continue.
I assume it’s better than living in a South American country that just voted in someone left of center…
